This article is about the seventeenth King of Gondor. For the twenty-ninth King, and descendent of Narmacil I, see Narmacil II.

Minalcar proved to be a vigourous Regent. While Narmacil stayed behind, Minalcar sallied forth in T.A.1248 and defeated a large army of Easterlings between Rhovanion and the Sea of Rhûn. He then took the name of "Rómendacil" (and later would ascend the throne as Rómendacil II). After this victory Rómendacil sent his son, in 1250, as an ambassador to the Northmen to secure their allegiance to Gondor.[3]

Narmacil ultimately became second childless King of Gondor and was succeeded by his younger brother Calmacil.[2]
